The week of August 2, 2021
There’s a confirmed date for John McCook’s next crossover stint from The Bold and the Beautiful. Look for the soap’s patriarch, Eric Forrester, to turn up on Tuesday, August 3. He’ll share key scenes with Michelle Stafford’s Phyllis Summers, who tracks Eric down in Los Angeles to get to the bottom of how Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) arranged Summer Newman’s (Hunter King) exit from Genoa City.
Also included in those scenes will be Italian actress Cristina Serafini. She makes another appearance as Summer’s boss, Angelina Marchetti, on Tuesday, August 3. Please note that air dates may be subject to change.
YR made its debut in 1973 and introduced more sexual undertones and younger characters to daytime soap operas. It has outlasted other soaps to become a mainstay for many households. Needless to say, four decades of storylines have kept viewers locked in and wanting more.
From Victor Newman’s (Eric Braeden) family machinations to Rey Rosales’s (Jordi Vilasuso) heroism to the adorable love story of Kyle (Michael Mealor) and Summer (Hunter King), YR knows how to entertain and keep fans coming back for more.
It is one of four soap operas currently on the air. The other three daytime dramas include General Hospital (GH), Days of our Lives (DAYS), and The Bold and the Beautiful (BB). The Young and the Restless (YR) airs weekdays on CBS. Check your local listings for air times.
